"I wanted to learn more about both parties and it's one of the biggest elections of all time," she tells ET. "I figured it out and I am ready."
Meghan Trainor is getting ready to cast her first ballot.
After stating that she had "never voted" and didn't "have any desire to" in a recent magazine interview, the 22-year-old pop star cleared the air in an exclusive sit-down with ET's Cameron Mathison, saying that her quotes were published "out of context."
"I wanted to learn more about both parties and it's one of the biggest elections of all time," she told ET backstage during the Seattle stop of her Untouchable Tour. "It's such a big deal and I figured it out, and I am ready. I'm ready to vote."
Trainor previously admitted to Billboard that she "should be way more aware" of the current Presidential race, adding: "But I've never voted and I don't have any desire to."
